Vietnam builds military infirmary for Cambodia

The Transportation Brigade 90 under the Cambodian Royal military
inaugurated its new infirmary, funded by the Vietnamese Army Corp 4, in
Kandal province on February 28.

Addressing the inauguration
ceremony, Brigade 90 Chief Major General Chho Sok emphasised the
significance of the infirmary construction as it will serve locals as
well.

Covering an area of 300 square metres, the facility was built at a cost of 65,000 USD.

The project is part of a protocol on the Vietnam-Cambodia bilateral defence cooperation.

Earlier on February 27, a repair shop for tanks and armoured vehicles,
constructed with funding from Vietnam’s Ministry of Defence, was
inaugurated and commissioned in Battambong province, Cambodia.

The shop’s construction cost 80,000 USD, sourced from a 2.4-million
USD aid package for basic construction funded by the Vietnamese Ministry
of Defence as part of the cooperation protocol between the two
ministries in 2014.

Colonel Nguyen Anh Dung,
Vietnamese defence attaché to Cambodia, said the Vietnamese ministry
plans to increase basic construction assistance for its Cambodian
counterpart to 3 million USD in 2015.
